Pakistan conducted air and drone strikes on ten locations in Afghanistan, stating it was retaliation for drone attacks originating from the neighboring country. Kabul reported civilian casualties.
Pakistan conducted aerial and drone strikes targeting ten locations within Afghanistan. The government stated these actions were a direct response to drone attacks originating from Afghan territory. Afghanistan's Taliban administration reported that the strikes resulted in civilian casualties and vowed retaliation. Pakistan described its operations as targeting "terrorist sanctuaries" and "drone launchpads."
This escalation follows a period of heightened cross-border tensions and Pakistani accusations of Afghan soil being used for attacks. The strikes underscore the fragile security situation along the Durand Line and the complex relationship between Islamabad and Kabul's de facto authorities. The incident risks further destabilizing the region and complicating counter-terrorism efforts.
